My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2252 - 1697: Duel of the Three Saints—Law (Part 2)

A segment of time had truly elapsed.

However, the Three Saints possessed such overwhelming power that they quickly regained their composure. To beings of their stature, the lost time was practically inconsequential.

"How can this individual completely disregard my Divine Technique?"

Even a Saint is not immune to the dread and fascination sparked by the inexplicable.

As his focus wavered, the balance of the battlefield underwent a subtle transformation.

The conflicts between Saints are always a matter of one force inevitably eclipsing the other.

As time withered away, the signs of exhaustion began to manifest.

That was the moment Li Fan chose to launch his counter-offensive.

Capitalizing on a momentary lapse in Sui Jun’s defense, Li Fan tore himself away from the temporal deluge that had been pinning him down.

With a gaze full of ferocity, he projected the cycle of decay and Reincarnation he had endured countless times directly onto Sui Jun!

Previously, his Endless Reincarnation had buckled under the weight of time, but now, every cycle transformed into a restrictive shackle.

He was imprisoning the vast expanse of years within.

Despite Sui Jun’s mastery over the flow of time, he found himself unable to break out of the Reincarnation cage that Li Fan had so painstakingly constructed.

Trapped in a loop of repetitive aging, Sui Jun lacked the stoic calm that Li Fan had displayed.

Every brush with death through senescence dealt him a devastating blow.

The uncertainty of when true death would finally strike haunted him.

He was being subjected to a relentless psychological and physical execution.

After an arduous struggle, Sui Jun’s composure finally shattered.

Terror surfaced on his features, and his focus shifted from combat to a desperate attempt to flee.

He sought only to escape the confines of the Endless Reincarnation cage.

Even though Li Fan held the upper hand, the reality remained that slaying a Saint was a monumental task.

Under the pressure of Sui Jun’s frantic retaliation, the Reincarnation cage began to shudder violently.

It teetered on the brink of total collapse.

Li Fan remained unyielding, his eyes burning with resolve: "I must kill you!"

Ignoring the cost, he drained his very essence to fortify the Reincarnation cage.

His recently mended wounds reopened and worsened under the extreme strain of his efforts.

As his physical form began to crumble, his True Spirit once again started to dissipate into the surroundings.

Nevertheless, Li Fan did not falter, continuing to weave the threads of Reincarnation while pulling True Spirit from the surrounding Void Realm.

He was determined to end Saint Sui Jun’s life right then and there!

The confrontation had evolved from a mere duel into a grim battle to the death.

Sui Jun did not beg for his life, and the panic on his face subsided.

Within the infinite cycles of aging, he quietly marshaled his strength, preparing for one final, desperate gambit.

Sensing the impending storm, Li Fan’s expression grew increasingly grim.

...

"A clash of the Dao should be exactly like this!" From a distance, Saint Qie Ji watched with intense excitement.

The fluctuations in fate and the shifting energy of the two Saints during this struggle left him utterly enthralled.

Even now, the final victor between Li Fan and Sui Jun remained a mystery.

"Sui Jun was cornered in a hopeless situation. But as they say, one finds life at the edge of death; trapped with no retreat, Sui Jun's final struggle has made Zhou Hui's survival even more uncertain. Marvelous, truly marvelous!"

While Qie Ji spectated, he continued to circulate his Divine Technique, surreptitiously siphoning the fortune of the two combatants.

"Let every possible path to survival flow toward me."

"The rest of you can simply perish!"

At last, Qie Ji observed that the radiant lifeline protecting Li Fan like an amulet was beginning to fade.

Meanwhile, his own bleak future had vanished entirely.

Secretly gleeful, Qie Ji remained on the sidelines, waiting for the conclusion of the life-and-death struggle.

Li Fan had not anticipated that Sui Jun’s final stand would be so explosive.

His Dao foundation was crumbling piece by piece, as Sui Jun’s essence seemed to merge with a multi-million-year torrent of time to strike at the Reincarnation cage.

Li Fan could no longer perceive Sui Jun’s physical form.

Yet he understood that if even a single drop of this temporal flow escaped, all his hard work would be for nothing.

In this moment, Li Fan cast aside all schemes and calculations.

A singular intent occupied his mind.

He would strike down Sui Jun here!

There was no room for grudges or sentiment.

There was only the absolute finality of the duel!

To ensure the Reincarnation cage held against the final assault, Li Fan fragmented his consciousness into countless thoughts, embedding them into every cycle of Reincarnation.

Thus, in every instance of Sui Jun’s aging, Li Fan’s eyes were there, watching silently.

He was everywhere at once.

No matter how many times Sui Jun’s lightning-fast temporal torrent lashed out, the prison Li Fan had built held firm.

It did not yield even an inch.

The counter-offensive peaked and then began to wane.

Once the primary storm had subsided, Sui Jun’s final strikes grew increasingly feeble.

The remaining tremors were unable to cause any further disruption.

Across the myriad Reincarnations, the figure of Li Fan materialized before the watched Sui Jun.

With a cold, expressionless face, he delivered a single palm strike.

Bam!

In that heartbeat, millions of Sui Jun’s temporal shadows shattered all at once.

In the physical realm, it signaled the fall of a Saint!

Had a Saint fallen within the world of mountains and seas, the heavens and earth would have surely trembled.

But this took place in the Void Realm!

Even the death of the powerful Three Saints would barely cause a ripple here.

Sui Jun passed away in total silence.

Not even the typical fluctuations of a dissipating Dao were present.

As for the triumphant Li Fan, his condition was dire.

The brutal conflict had pushed his body far beyond its limits.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and the True Spirit he had forcibly gathered began to leak back into the Void Realm.

There was no joy on his face for having killed a Saint, only a look of deep concern as he ignored his trauma.

He desperately tried to flee the area.

Even as the tides of the Void Realm grew more turbulent, he did not slow down.

From afar, Qie Ji, who had been waiting patiently, continued his scrutiny.

"With his True Spirit fractured to such a degree, even with that unique ability to absorb stagnant energy, he is walking toward certain death."

"Now that I am the one reaping the rewards, victory is mine!"

Qie Ji finally allowed himself to relax.

He was already planning how to utilize Li Fan.

"I shall simply wipe away his consciousness and refine him into a tool for absorbing True Spirit."

"With such a treasure, this dangerous Void Realm will become my personal, endless gold mine! Not even the Three Saints will be able to restrain me!"

"I might even catch a glimpse of the origins of the mountains and seas..."

Lost in his ambitions, Qie Ji quickly closed the distance to Li Fan.

Given Li Fan’s severe injuries, no amount of effort could allow him to outrun Qie Ji.

"I am still curious how he managed to recover so many times from Sui Jun's techniques. But that is trivial now. Once he is refined, all his secrets will belong to me."

Without saying a word, Qie Ji reached out and placed his hands upon Li Fan’s head.

At that precise moment, Li Fan, who had appeared completely incapacitated, suddenly snapped his eyes open.

Instantly, in Qie Ji's vision, the web of fate and destiny between them was completely inverted
